Just been reading back through a paper that was passed to me at the GA Conference. It was written by Dr. Phil Wood, and looks at the concept of Place in the Pilot GCSE specification.
Update: an excellent resource in 'The Guardian' on Saturday the 13th of June, which looked at some authors who are particularly associated with places, and how their books can help evoke a place, and changes that take place there...
Which books / authors are your favourite invocations of particular places ?
This might be a nice idea to use with learners, in terms of the geography of some classic books.
How about the landscape of 'The Gruffalo', or the Lake District landscape described by Arthur Ransome ?
Add your thoughts below...
